Dogs look up to you and want to please you. A puppy or youthful dog should start training immediatly. If they start forming bad habits. It will be more difficult to train away these habits.
Where you begin training is important. Having too many toys and too much noise can make training difficult. Dogs do get affected by their enviorment.
Picking a person to train the dog. Once you have chosen the person you want to train the dog. Keep that person in the forefront of the dogs training. Allow the person you want to train the dog decide on the method. As you slowly introduce others into the dogs training. Make sure that the method used for training is the same for everyone.
A strong and firm voice should be used during training. Show of affection can go a long way to gaining trust and cooperation. Screaming can show a lack of control. It not only causes a fear response but may be detremental to all the work done.
Try to be very patient. Every dog learns at there own pace. This will not change because all dogs are different.
When working with a dog consider the breed. You may have some breeds that want to play a lot. Others like the german shepard are very easy to train. Find there strong points and develop them.
Decide what training method is best for your dog. Some trainers use food and others may use clickers. Other methods are also available. Find out which method the dog responds to best.
Trying to develop a training schedule that works for your dog is important. Do not try to teach too many things at once. The key to success is focusing your effort on one behavior at a time.
Keep in mind the information I have given you. This information can help in encouraging your dog to listen and behave. Do not forget the most important part of the training. The part where you love and enjoy your dog.
